A Valley of Dry Bones -Ezekiel 37:4 part 1

This Is an interesting passage in the Bible that speaks great things about Christianity.

1 The Lord took hold of me, and I was carried away by the Spirit of the Lord to a valley filled with bones. 2 He led me all around among the bones that covered the valley floor. They were scattered everywhere across the ground and were completely dried out. 3 Then he asked me, “Son of man, can these bones become living people again?”
“O Sovereign Lord,” I replied, “you alone know the answer to that.”
4 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say, ‘Dry bones, listen to the word of the Lord! 5 This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Look! I am going to put breath into you and make you live again! 6 I will put flesh and muscles on you and cover you with skin. I will put breath into you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’”


Dry Bone is likened to any situation that is dead,any situation that looks hopeless,any situation that YOU have no obvious solution to.
Dry Bone situation is your dead marriage,dry bone situation is that disease that is troubling you,
dry bone situation is that son or daughter that has gone wayward.It is infact any situation that as a man you don't have a solution to.
At a quick glance some few things come out.
God asked “Son of man, can these bones become living people again?”,why?.Obviously God knew the answer to the situation,He also knew that it was humanly impossible for those bones to come back to life.But He still asked,He did not jump into the situation.He just doesn't jump into
your dead marriage.He needs a confirmation of need from you.He wants you to recognise and acknowledge with faith that you have reached your human limit and that He is the only Hope for you.

verse 4
He said PROPHESY.He did not say Hope for,He did not say ask,He did to say plead,He did not say Cry for.
None of those.He said Prophesy,Speak,declare,Decree,Speak into being.As a Christian you should recognise therefore that you have the authority and power to change your dead situation in the Lord's name.You may cry out to the Lord for Help but when He gives you the direction or answer ,you need to enforce the solution using the authority He has given you as His child.You stand on your own feet and command ,speak and order situations to change.Until you recognise who you are in the Lord,you would continue to be as powerless as the any other person.
